Chapter 11: The Return
Five years later, in the winter, the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the early dynasty.
Soon after the court meeting, Huang Shang received the news that Cao Cao had contracted a cold in Wei County and died.
Looking at the jubilant appearance of the civil and military forces in the hall, Huang Shang felt bored.
Another iconic character of the Three Kingdoms has left, and the world is becoming more and more boring.
In five years, he spent five years to clean up the pests hidden in the Central Plains, and vigorously developed a series of projects in the Central Plains that benefited the country and the people, such as economy, education, medical care, and transportation.
With the advent of thermal weapons, the army used to fight the war is no longer needed, a few years ago through military reform, now the army of the Han Dynasty are all professional soldiers, according to the rules of modern conscription, every year in various places will recruit a group of young people into the army to serve three years of military service, among which outstanding performance will be left as professional soldiers, which is also a rising channel.
If you are not satisfied with the work arranged by the government, you can also go home to farm, anyway, you can be exempted from agricultural taxes for ten years as a soldier, and farming is also very good.
In addition, there is a group of students who study well from childhood and go to university until they graduate from university, and they will be directly scrambled by various departments, and they will be small cadres or elite scientific and technological personnel.
School education has lasted for many years, and the first batch of college students have graduated and joined the workforce, so now Huang Shang is most lacking talents, and the era when the family controlled the government is long gone.
In comparison, although Cao Cao's rule in the north has the support of countless scholar clan gate lords, but the so-called intertwined roots, the tail is too big, Cao Cao wants to implement some policies that are conducive to rule, as long as it harms the interests of the scholars, it will be sprayed into a dog directly, making it difficult for him to implement it thoroughly.
It's just that Cao Cao didn't dare to send troops to kill them, all the private armed forces controlled by the Shi clan added up to more troops than Cao Cao's control, and the Cao family itself was the largest group of Shi clans, how could he oppose himself!
But watching Huang Shang in the south grow more and more, Cao Cao was very anxious every day, and finally contracted a cold in the winter of this year, causing a series of comprehensive disease outbreaks.
Now the whole north has become a mess, and those who are vying for power, profit-seeking, and liquidating are ...... Every day, there's a great show.
Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
Huang Shang directly issued an order to the Luoyang Military Region, Yanzhou Military Region, and Qingzhou Military Region: "Fight across the Yellow River and unify the entire northern territory!" ”
The three major military regions, which had been preparing and training for this purpose for five years, immediately took action, and the new version of the warships lined up in several rows, carrying soldiers and siege artillery to cross the Yellow River in three ways, one of which went to attack Bingzhou, and the other two went straight to Jizhou, each with 50,000 troops, enough to sweep the north.
Without Cao Cao, the leader, the 'Shi clan' in the north is simply a headless fly, facing a volley of three-way musketeers, they don't even have the ability to resist, and they will collapse at the touch of a button, and they will fall for thousands of miles.
If it is hard, the northern army is very brave, but before Nima's rushed over, he was beaten to death by the other party, and this is still a ball? Don't run away and wait to feed the dogs?
When the war came to this point, the northern scholars were left with only two options: one was to flee to the grassland with their families and beg for a living on the grassland in the future; The other is to give up the land and wealth accumulated over the years and become a good citizen under the rule of Huang Shang.
With their understanding of Huang Shang, except for those scholars with a bad reputation, although the land will be confiscated, they can still be allocated to the cultivated land according to the capita, and the family's money can basically be retained, but Huang Shang's household registration policy, so that if they want to have someone to serve in the future, they can only pay commissions to hire contract workers or temporary workers, and they can no longer buy back domestic servants as before, not to mention death.
Huang Shang, a man of the Geshi clan.
Thinking about it, except for a small number of local tyrants and gentry who did all kinds of evil and chose to flee to the northern grasslands, other scholars with a not too bad reputation chose to stay.
Even if the future life is a little harder, it is better than going to the grassland to come in a precarious future.
In this way, as the three-way army of the Han court was crushed all the way, the territory of the northern Han Dynasty was quickly pacified.
At the same time, a large number of engineering teams were stationed along the Great Wall and began to build a transportation network extending in all directions.
Today, unlike in the past, if the agricultural civilization with thermal weapons is once again confronted with the nomads who go south to fight in the grass valley, those nomads who can fight well will quickly become ethnic minorities who can sing and dance.
Huang Shang knew that his time in this world was running out, and he wanted to leave as much valuable wealth as possible to the people of the world before leaving, and in addition, he also wanted to teach those little princes some modern knowledge.
At least astronomy and geography must be learned, the scientific concept of development must also be learned, education, medical care, power revolution, etc., are the top priorities, must be learned.
He has set a twenty-year devil learning + experience plan for the little princes, and whoever can persist to the end will be the future successor of the Han Emperor.
Although, he shouldn't be able to see that day.
Time has passed five years unconsciously, and at this time the north has completely lost the trouble of the grassland, and under the cover of elegant and easy-going spears and cannons, the ethnic minorities who can sing and dance on the grassland have found the right way to get along with the Han Dynasty.
The cattle, sheep and horses, wool, milk, goat's milk, and grassland pastoral songs on the grassland can be traded with the Han to get the grain, vegetables, tea, salt, cloth and other necessities they need, and the Han invented an artifact called cotton clothing, which can make them feel the warmth of spring in the bitter cold winter.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty was really clever and invented a lot of strange and very useful things, although they lost the ability to go south to fight grass valleys and rob women, but it was also a good choice to survive by peaceful means.
The point is that the spears and cannons of the Han Dynasty are too terrifying, and in the autumn of five years ago, more than 300,000 grassland warriors stayed in that land forever and never returned to immortality.
The muskets and artillery of the Han Dynasty have also become a nightmare for the grassland people, which can stop children from crying at night.
But it's very strange, there doesn't seem to be a Han musket and artillery on the Xiliang side, and it's still a very primitive cavalry battle, and I don't know what the emperor of the Han is doing? Aren't you afraid of the Xiliang Qiang people making trouble?
But their questions were quickly answered.
In the spring of this year, Huang Shang drove his own expedition, led an army of 100,000 into Xiliang, and divided Xiliang into the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”
Facing Ma Chao's desperate roar, Zhao Zilong, a general who was nearly fifty years old, went out to fight.
Before the war, Huang Shang told him that this was his last time on the battlefield, and when the army triumphed, he would personally remove his armor, so Zhao Zilong knew from the beginning that this was his last glory on the battlefield.
There may be a war in the future Han, but his military career has come to an end, even if Huang Shang doesn't care about the merits, he also knows that he has to take a back seat, so he wants to burn to his heart's content before retiring.
Facing Ma Chao, who was in his thirties, Zhao Zilong, who was nearly fifty years old, shouted loudly, and fought with Ma Chao in one place, guns and guns, like lightning and fire snakes, and the sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, very intense.
Veterans who haven't seen a fighting general for many years have almost forgotten that fighting a general is such a tense, exciting and dangerous thing, and before you know it, you are already sweating profusely.
After fighting for nearly 100 rounds like this, Zhao Zilong is old and decrepit after all, plus he has not fought for many years, he feels a little rusty, and he is gradually dominated by Ma Chao, so he can only defend with experience.
"Alas!"
Staggered again, feeling the tremor of his arms, Zhao Zilong sighed: "It's old." ”
"Zhao Zilong, take your life!" Ma Chao excitedly slapped the horse and rushed over.
As long as he kills the great general of the Han Dynasty, he can become famous all over the world and become a real Shenwei Tian general.
In order for his divine power to spread all over the world, Zhao Zilong must die!
Bang –
…… I'm Han Sui a few days later......
With Han Sui dying under the indiscriminate gunshot, Huang Shang finally heard the long-lost prompt sound.
[Main Quest: Dominate the world at the end of the Han Dynasty. 】

“……”
Huang Shang looked at the unfinished state of side quest 3, this is the first time that before completing the main quest, there are still side quests that have not been completed, and it is a very fatal side quest 3 that can only recover after returning to the physical and mental state.
Turning his head to look at Zhao Zilong standing on the battlefield, he was very happy.
Fortunately, he is a royal driver, otherwise he will return to Luoyang from Xiliang, even if he is fast and people do not stop, it will be difficult to rush back within 24 hours, and once the side quest 3 fails, after he returns, he will change from a young man in his twenties to an old man in his fifties.
Even if his body ages very slowly because of the body of the five spirits, in this world for more than twenty years, his body is still inevitably aging, and from the outside, he is almost in his thirties.
If he really went back like this, he couldn't explain it.
Fortunately, there is still a chance.
"Zilong!"
Huang Shang rode a sweaty BMW to Zhao Zilong's side.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Zilong dismounted and hugged his fists: "Please forgive the last general with armor on his body, and he can't give full salutes." ”
Huang Shanghan dismounted with a smile and said, "Zilong, do you remember what I said to you before I came?" ”
Zhao Zilong took a deep breath, a little excited, and a little melancholy: "Your Majesty." ”
Huang Shang smiled slightly, personally unloaded his armor for Zhao Zilong in front of all the soldiers on the battlefield, and finally put a cloak on his body, and said with emotion: "Zilong, as the saying goes: On the day of the return of the edict, I will untie the battle robe with the general." Over the years, it has been hard work. ”
Zhao Zilong's excited eyes were red, and he gave a full salute: "Changshan Zhao Zilong, I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty, and then die!" ”
[Side quest 3: When the world is peaceful, unload the armor for Zhao Zilong. 】
[Completed, after returning to reality, the physical and mental state will be restored to before entering the world.] 】
[Congratulations to the host, all main and side quests have been completed 100%, and the rewards will be distributed after returning to reality.] 】
[The host can choose to return to reality immediately, or force it to return to reality after 24 hours.] 】
Huang Shang helped Zhao Zilong up, glanced at the soldiers and the great rivers and mountains in the distance, and was stunned.
This is my soldier...... This is my country!
Hehehehe...... Hahahaha......
"Return!"
